Suggested Alternatives: 1. Cuts to the California Corrections Department a. Cut $2 billion from the prison budget. The California State Senate had previously voted to cut $900 million; b. Early release of elderly inmates and inmates incarcerated due to possession of marijuana. Since marijuana is an infraction, it is reasonable to release anyone currently incarcerated from marijuana possession and are non-violent. c. Eliminate marijuana use as a condition to release for probation or parole. 2. Reform state long-term care to decrease institutionalization in nursing facilities. 3. Reduce the contracting out of consulting and engineering contracts which could easily save $500 million. 4. Cuts to Medi-Cal a. Modify the state’s existing Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver so more people can avoid expensive and unnecessary institutional placement. b. Draw down new federal Medicaid funds for some AB 3632 mental health services for special education students. 5. Cuts to CalWORKs a. Minimize cuts to CalWORKs 6. Cuts to University of California and California State University Systems: a.
